WMSC #95 - Tea Party

Spring has definitely "sprung" here! It's supposed to reach the 80's today and my garden is reaching it's full flower potential. So many beauties... Iris, Azalea, Clematis, Columbine, Lilly of the valley... even my blueberries and blackberries have flowers! I can't wait to start planting vegetables and annual flowers!

Today I'm playing along with the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge. This week's design is by Karin Åkesdotter. All those flowers got me thinking about having some friends over for a visit in the yard. I don't know how well that would go over with the new puppy - I could see her buried under a tablecloth and broken china, but I decided on a tea party invite complete with a tiny layered tea cup cut from some pretty glittery paper. I wanted to make it really feminine - just what you'd expect for an invitation to tea right? So I added a lacy border, fancy cut doily and some beautiful roses. I couldn't resist a big bow and the sweet little "tea time" tag..

I hope you are taking time to notice all the flowers popping up everywhere! Thanks for having a look - have a beautiful day! And please, stop to smell the flowers!! You will be glad you did!Jeanne

Perfect tea party invite! Love everything about this one. The gingham is so pretty with all the other details , the bow , lace on top and the beautiful die behind the sentiment. My sister in law would love this one, she has many tea parties. Gorgeous!

If I got this invitation, you would be SURE that I would be at the party! So beautiful, Jeanne! How DO you achieve such layered effects? The tea cup with the little roses and the doily in the background are PERFECT for the sentiment!

What a masterpiece! This has "Jeanne" written all over it:) The bow, the layered die cuts, the bit of bling! All stunning! And I adore that little teacup:)

We're enjoying our blooms here too! The previous owners of our house planted a ton of flowering plants and now we're enjoying the roses, rhododendrons, azaleas, and lilacs. Hope you have a wonderful weekend Jeanne!

Stunningly gorgeous...as always!! :)I don't even know where to start with this one Jeanne...the colors...the sentiment...the layered die cuts...the fabby bow and button...?It is all so incredibly gorgeous...I die!You are so incredibly inspiring...I swoon at everything you do! :)

One of your best!!! I love this, that doily at the top is so great, I am going to try to find it as soon as I get done typing this...I love that neat sentiment and those teacups. The pretty bow witht he frame and flowers is beautiful. FABULOUS!

Hi I'm Jeanne!

A Kept Life

I left my career a few years ago, and at the time my husband started calling me "a kept wife". The name of my blog is a play on that expression, because now I capture moments in photographs, and create in color in my "kept life". I hope you enjoy - thanks for stopping by!
